Many agile projects take a simplistic approach to “managing” user stories.

In fact, everything we learned in the requirement management discipline has somehow disappeared when user stories are used to describe desired functionality.

If we hope for the agile approach to scale up to help build complex systems and systems of system, then we need to go beyond the simplistic approach.

Very much like requirements in a non-agile project, user stories do not live in a vacuum. If you consider a more disciplined and more flexible agile project, then user stories change over time, they relate to other user stories, they related to test cases, scenarios, acceptance criteria and other project entities.

User stores are reviewed, finalized and approved. Tasks to implement user stories are assigned to team members and both estimated time and actual time to perform these tasks are tracked. Most importantly, progress in performing these tasks is tracked.

In this presentation,  Magdy will show how we can preserve much of the discipline we followed in the field of requirement management before agile and user stories ever existed.

The presentation will conclude with a short demo of the award winning Rommana ALM to show how we expect a tool to support a more disciplined approach to managing user stories.

Presenter: Dr. Magdy Hanna PhD (LinkedIn profile) is a recognized educator, speaker and consultant in several areas of software engineering. His highly rated seminars in various topics over the last thirty-five years have spanned various aspects and capacities of software projects and processes.

Value Stream Management (VSM) is one of the hottest emerging topics in the world of software delivery.
But breakthrough the buzzword static and it may also be the most misunderstood idea today — at least in terms of its strategic importance to the enterprise as we step fully into a software-driven world. For enterprise leaders, however, the stakes are enormous and it is essential that they get VSM right.

Join Charles Araujo, (LinkedIn profile) Principal Analyst with Intellyx, and Jeff Keyes, (LinkedIn profile) Director of Product Marketing at Plutora  for an engaging and interactive discussion on this critical topic.

They will discuss:

  • The fundamental nature of Value Stream Management, why it is now a strategic imperative for the enterprise, and why it is about more than just software delivery
  • The three essential elements that are the key to unlocking the strategic advantage of adopting VSM
  • How to break through the hype and put your organization on the path to adopting VSM and getting it right

In this webinar Efrem Mallach aims to improve participants’ understanding of system-level implementation issues.

Information system conversion has been with us since users of punched-card tabulating systems first moved to vacuum-tube computers. However, it has generally been seen as an afterthought: once the “interesting” development stages of analysis, design and so on are done, it will just happen. Efrem Mallach views the process holistically, from both the technical and human viewpoints. This reflects the fact that information systems have both technical and human components. Ignoring one side or the other can lead to problems, which can be avoided if all aspects are considered together.

Presenter: Dr. Mallach (LinkedIn profile) has taught in the information systems field since 1984. In addition, he has had a long and varied career in the information technology industry – before this time, during a break from teaching in 1998-2003, and on a part-time basis while teaching. This exposure to real-world practice, which continues today, gives him a perspective on information systems that is impossible to obtain through academic pursuits alone.

It is no surprise that agile projects are very fast pace. Whether your sprint is two, three or even four week, there is barely time for the team to do user acceptance testing the way we know it.

It is not possible to involve business users and SMEs to perform UAT at the end of each sprint.

The Use of a UAT-Specific Sprint as suggested by some practitioners has its own drawbacks.

In this presentation, Dr. Magdy Hanna will present an overview of a proactive UAT process that utilizes real business scenarios. The process will also help minimize the risk associated with the UAT-Specific Sprint approach.
